Korean Traditional

Korean traditional music, also known as "gugak," is a rich and diverse genre that encompasses both courtly, aristocratic styles and the folk traditions of various regions. Characterized by its use of unique Korean instruments such as the gayageum, geomungo, and haegeum, it expresses a deep connection to nature, spirituality, and Korean history. The music often features rhythmic cycles known as "jangdan" and a melodic structure termed "jo." Renowned artists in this genre, like Chongjin Hong and Gayageum Ensemble AURA, contribute to preserving ancient techniques while innovating contemporary expressions. The performances are deeply emotive, emphasizing tonal subtlety and dynamic rhythms, offering audiences a unique auditory journey through Korea's cultural heritage.
